Conor Maynard has officially tied the knot — but his fairytale wedding comes with a storm of controversy still swirling in the background.
The singer, 33, married his fiancée Kitty Bertrand in a romantic ceremony on Saturday, surrounded by close friends and family. Sharing the joyful moment with fans, Conor took to Instagram on Monday, posting a celebratory snap with his bride and writing simply: WE’RE MARRIED!!!
For the big day, Conor stood out in a bold mustard yellow double-breasted suit paired with an open-collared white shirt, while Kitty stunned in a strapless white gown featuring intricate embroidery and a flowing tulle skirt, completed with a veil and sparkling diamond tiara.
The intimate ceremony was attended by those closest to the couple, including Conor’s siblings Jack and Anna. Jack later gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse, revealing that the couple were actually married by Conor’s manager, George Leighton. Anna also turned heads in a figure-hugging floral dress, posing alongside her brothers for family snaps.
Among the guests were familiar faces including The Traitors winner Harry Clark, who joined Conor and his friends as they prepared for the ceremony in matching dressing gowns, sipping champagne in a relaxed pre-wedding moment. Actor Jon James Ewart and songwriter Brendan Buckley — who has worked on several of Conor’s tracks — were also in attendance.
Following their vows, the newlyweds wasted no time heading off on a dreamy honeymoon to Reykjavik, Iceland. Conor shared a glimpse of their luxurious stay, posting a video of Kitty admiring the stunning views with the caption: And the honeymoon commences.
The wedding comes just six months after Conor proposed, revealing the engagement in a heartfelt birthday post where he told Kitty he was ready to “take on forever” with her. Their relationship has moved quickly — from going public to buying their first home together and even adopting a Bernedoodle puppy named Bernard last year.
But behind the celebrations lies an ongoing controversy that refuses to fade.
Conor has been embroiled in a bitter paternity dispute with The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton over her daughter Penelope. Charlotte previously claimed the singer was the father of her “miracle” baby following a one-night encounter, but two separate DNA tests have confirmed that Conor is not the father.
Addressing the situation, Conor stated that the second test — conducted at a Ministry of Justice accredited facility chosen by Charlotte — once again proved he was not Penelope’s dad, adding that the results were conclusive and that the situation had been difficult for both him and his family.
Despite this, Charlotte has continued to dispute the findings, insisting the results may be flawed. She has suggested that a rare genetic condition known as chimerism could explain why the DNA tests failed to identify Conor as the father, maintaining that she is certain he is the only possible parent.
While Conor expressed relief at finally being able to “draw a line” under the situation, the ongoing public back-and-forth suggests the drama may not be over just yet — even as he begins a new chapter as a married man.
